...are you sure you're not a hobo, sir?
Walked over to Flamingo to check in to a room, which I won't use, and pick up $400 "travel reimbursement", which I will use. On my way over, noticed that I forgot to bring my Harrah's player's card. So I head over to the player's club, and naturally, skip the line by going to the l33t desk.
"Hi, I'd like a replacement player's card." I flop my ID on the counter.
The two clerks give each other looks. "Did you get lost?"
"Huh?"
"Are you a platinum or diamond level player, sir?"
OK, I'm not dressed like much, but this is ridiculous. "I would like a replacement diamond card, please." I put a little bit of venom into it - the trailing ", bitches" is unspoken but implied.
They get my card for me, and I head off to VIP checkin, shaking my head a little. I'm standing there, getting out my credit card and offer letter, when I realize two things.
First, I'd just been walking very quickly, dodging and weaving through Strip crowds, and I'm both out of shape and somewhat short on sleep. I probably looked flustered and disoriented.
Second, not only am I wearing a plain beige $5 T-shirt from Target, but I'm wearing it inside-out.
OK, fine. In retrospect, I'll give them a pass on the attitude.

no subject
But seriously, surely they must be used to high rollers who don't necessarily look all that?
